I IMPROVEMENT |N WATCHMAKERS"roors.`

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. i 50,550, dated May 5,1874; application iiled February 18, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GrLEs S. FALEs, of N ew Bedford, in the' county ot'Bristol, in the State of Massachusetts, have invented certainImprovements in Watch-Tools, of which the following is a specication: f

My invention relates to the construction and operation of thewithin-described extensionp1iers,for the purpose set forth. The objectof my invention is tosecure firmly the spring when adjusted, and whileinserting the screw which secures it to the inside of the rim of J[heCaSe.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of my invention. Fig. 2 is a verticalsection of the same when applied to a watch-case, &c.

Fig. 1, A A is the pliers; B1B1, their handle 5 G1 C1, projecting jawsextending outward. These jaws are also set either in a curve or at rightangles, about one-fourth ot' an inch out of line with the handles, toenable it to be applied to the case e e', teeth cut in the ends of thejaws to prevent them from slipping when in operation; d', the bolt whichsecures the handies together in a movable joint.

Fig. 2, my invention applied to a watch-case for the purpose specified;B2 B2 the pliers 5 C2 C, the jaws; F2, the screw-driver; f2, the screw,Sac.; E2, case.

When the spring which throws up the cover of the case of a watch orlocket is to be se cured in its proper position by the screw which holdsit to the inside of the rim of the case much difficulty has heretoforebeen experienced not only in adjusting it but in preventing it fromslipping. By the application of my invention, as shown in Fig. 2 of theeligraving, this difficulty is entirely obviated, the jaws of the pliersbeing inserted in the inside of the case, as shown, with jaw G againstthe spring, and jaw C2 against the inside of the rim of the case. Bypressing upon the handles B2 B2 the operation of holding the spring withmy invention for the purpose specified will be apparent without furtherspeciiication.

I claim as my invention- The within-described extension-pliers,constructed as herein specified, with teeth c e on jaws C1 c, for thepurpose set forth.
